Wolsey Monologue from Henry VIII

From Henry VIII by William Shakespeare

male · defiant · 38 sec

I do profess That for your Highness’ good I ever laboured More than mine own, that am, have, and will be. Though all the world should crack their duty to you And throw it from their soul, though perils did Abound as thick as thought could make ’em, and Appear in forms more horrid—yet my duty, As doth a rock against the chiding flood, Should the approach of this wild river break, And stand unshaken yours.
